My Evolution

This round I'm covering a Japanese pop song.
The problem is, I don't know Japanese but I really like the music.
The original was performed by veteran singer-songwriter Hideaki Tokunaga.  
I kind of shifted a little bit towards country pop in my arrangement and added an outro sax for completeness.  Just see what you think.

Apology to my Japanese friends for my probable weird pronunciation.

[LYRICS per Google Translation]
For you
I do not mind staying in my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

Easy eyes are created
I keep silent in that sky
Even if you do not miss a mystery love
Now I can not find a night here

For you 
I'm looking at a dream I have never seen before.
For you
Close your eyes, I love you

As the moment of two people runs out 
the troublesome thing to wear on your body
I can show you through

A desperate thought has risen up in that
All goes on to love as it is

For you
I do not mind having even my memories
For you
Transparently, I love you

[ORIGINAL LYRICS]
あなたのために hu hu
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために huhu
透きとおって I love you

やさしい目が 创りだす
その空气に 默り迂む
ミステリーな恋  愉しんでも
探せない夜が いま ここに  

あなたのために huhu
见たことのない 梦を见つめてる 
あなたのために
目を闭じて I Love You

二人になる瞬间へ
走りだして 行くために
身に振りかかる わずらわしさ 
突き拔けてみせる いつ だって 

沸き起こる とりとめない想い
すべて 爱しさへ つづく

あなたのために ya ha
想い出さえも 舍てて かまわない
あなたのために ya ha
透きとおって I Love You

For You  (Anata no Tameni)  Cover

FLOATING WORLD ft. joerxworx

Don't you hate it when people start describing a dream they had? I hope not..

I saw an angel in my  dream
Torn and tattered were her wings
And She revealed the truth to me
And it brought me to my knees
It made everything so clear
And my eyes filled with tears
But when i wiped the tears away
Her words had faded in the day

I met a man who came to me
From a land across the sea
He had stardust in his eyes
as we looked toward the sky
He held my face in his two hands
I  felt the fire flow through his veins
And I trembled in my fear
As I whispered in his  ear

Show me the way to get back home
Show me the place where i belong
Give me the stars to light the road
Show me the way to get back home

if it's not too late
Show me how to change our fate
and we all have lost the way
And there's no time left to wait

As i stand before you now
Feeling naked and ashamed 
At the mercy of it all
because I gave it all away

Angel, please return to me

Show Me The Way Home

A modern re-imagining of the classic Weather Report track by the cream of jazz players on Soundcloud

Guitars Benny Sutton @bennysutton	UK
Bass Barry Likumahuwa @barry-likumahuwa	Indonesia
Drums Alan "Quorn" Corne @quorns-drumming-world	Austrailia
Clarinets Michel Martineau @michel-martineau	Canada

Birdland was written by keyboardist Joe Zawinul of Weather Report. The piece made its debut on Weather Report’s 1977 studio album, Heavy Weather.

Benny Sutton says...
"You know the original was recorded in the studio in one take! Our version took a bit longer than that. The musicians come from all around the World and have never met! We swapped our parts and backing tracks over the Soundcloud platform taking six months in total to complete"

"Birdland" served as a tribute to the New York jazz club of that name on 52nd street NYC
Joe Zawinul once said "I met Miles there, and Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong; I met my wife Maxine there"

Benny says..
"Thank you all the musicians who created this track - and thanks to Joe, Wayne, and Jaco for giving us Birdland. Weather Report never had a guitarist. I hope that, if they had, it would sound like this!"

This new version of the jazz standard by Herbie Hancock is a collaboration with the highly talented keyboard player Mark Dorricott on Hammond organ.
Herbie himself did many versions of this track; the first was in 1962. This incarnation more closely matches the one Herbie did with the Head Hunters, his jazz funk band in 1973.
It's a blast and we enjoyed doing it, we hope you do too!
Benny and Mark

Love Guitar? You're in the right place!

ABOUT ME
I play the music I like to listen to. 
As a guitarist I like to think I have my own style.
Harmony, and the groove is what I'm chasing, hopefully with a tasteful, nuanced, and distinctive presentation. 
I don't have a genre as such. I could sort of call myself a smooth Jazz 'n' Blues guitar 'thang' but in reality every track crosses over multiple strands of R&B/Jazz/Funk/Pop. Don't be put off by my use of the "J" word. Jazz to me is anything unpredictable and I'm nothing if not contemporary. 
Rhythm playing is as much a part of my "game" as lead soloing. I love the Funk!
My main instrument is guitar. I play a 1973 Ovation Breadwinner, an Ibanez nylon stringed and a Yamaha keyboard loaded with Keyscape. Unless stated I play all the other instruments too (mostly Bass), and sequence MIDI and arrange/produce. 

MY JOURNEY
I was signed with Fresh Air records and EMI in the 1980's creating Jazz/funk dance tracks but things were just as challenging then as they are now for musicians so I got a 'proper job' for 20 years! During all that time my guitar was in the loft! I rediscovered music in 2010 and Soundcloud in 2014.


MY SOUNDCLOUD
I am grateful to Soundcloud listeners who take the time to press |>Play - and especially if you give me some feedback :-)
I hope what you hear will draw you in sufficiently to explore on my own website. Nearly all my original stuff (6 albums worth) are on www.BennySutton.com and all are downloadable.
Please don't follow me in hope of getting to get an automatic follow back. I don't do that because I only follow the smallest number of people I can keep track of. I'll have a look at your page but will only follow back if you are really of interest to me. See my follow list, you'll discover some very talented artistes, many of whom I have been lucky to Collab. Soundcloud really is the place to find the real innovators these days - not the music industry approved channels, especially MTV!
If you want to get my attention, send me a PM.
